Early Arrival
Want to arrive before Christmas and have time to settle in before your course starts? No problem, we are able to offer you free early arrival accommodation from 22 December 2023, until your term-time contract starts on 7 January 2024. You just need to be a January 2024 start PG student, that has applied for and accepted accommodation on campus. If you are interested, please email us at accarriv@essex.ac.uk by 1pm on Friday 22 December 2023.
Requests after this date will not be approved and processed.
Your term time room may not already be available, so you will likely have to take an alternative room for your free early arrival period.
